While a historically Jewish sorority in the South might have absolutely no Jewish members. You need to consider the chapter at your university as much as the GLO as a whole.
To note though some girls are looking for a Jewish experience in college. It has to do with celebrating who they are as Jewish young women. If that is the case (for this author or anyone else) a person might consider a chapter of a historically Jewish sorority that might still celebrate their Judaism actively or even a sorority like Sigma Alpha Epsilon Pi that (although open to all women) celebrates Judaism and religion in their regular semester activities.

For any students who wish to have more Jewish experiences, there is usually a Hillel chapter they can join which celebrates the holidays, the Sabbath, holds worship services, dinner meetings and performs community and campus service while providing a social outlet as well. It can enhance sorority life.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon Pi is not a member of NPC and therefore is not bound by its policies.
